Communities
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum works in partnership with many communities impacted by 9/11, recognizing the sacrifice and selflessness of rescue and recovery workers, service members, and veterans. We collaborate with survivors, witnesses, and artists in acts of commemoration and remembrance.
